Definitions

  • the invention relates to a chain drive for hinged wings of windows, doors or the like. With the features of the preamble of claim 1 (see. FR-A-2 278 891).
  • Knife scissors are increasingly being used for tilting or hinged windows.
  • the possible opening angle and thus the opening to be opened is limited for opening scissors.
  • Knife scissors are generally not suitable for these cases.
  • FR-A-2 278 891 shows a chain drive for hinged wings, in which a chain guide has three chain guide sections parallel to the long side of the housing. On one end of the housing there is a chain drive wheel, which is in engagement with the release chain and can drive the chain into or out of the housing. The axis of the chain drive wheel is perpendicular to the flat side of the housing. In addition to the chain drive wheel, the inserted chain is supported with three chain guide sections which are essentially parallel to one another, for which purpose two narrow radii of curvature are required.
  • This chain drive in the prior art thus achieves a particularly large chain length with a reasonable size of the housing, so that a large opening angle and a particularly large ventilation opening to be opened for the deployable wing is achieved.
  • a helical arrangement of the chain guide can preferably be used, as indicated in the further development according to the teaching of claim 3.
  • a particularly favorable spatial arrangement, which is also advantageous for operation, of the entire chain length in the chain drive housing can be achieved according to the teaching of claim 6.
  • An electric motor drive is also proposed in connection with an embodiment according to US 4,481,735, in which, however, the chain inserted into the housing is scanned via two limit switches and not even three chain guide sections in the housing which are parallel to one another can be achieved, but only 11 ⁇ 2 parallel sections are provided.
  • the motor is arranged outside the housing and is mechanically connected to the axis of the drive pinion arranged perpendicular to the chain guide sections. A compact arrangement of a long display chain cannot be achieved there.
  • Figures 1-3 show a tilt window with a particularly large opening angle.
  • the window usually consists of a frame on which a sash frame is articulated by lower tilting bearings 3, at the upper end of which the free end of an opening chain 7 is attached via a mounting bracket 6, which chain chain belongs to a chain drive 4, which includes the drive elements and the chain guide accommodating housing 5, which is attached above the wing flap on the frame.
  • the housing 5 consists of at least two housing parts which are firmly connected to one another.
  • the housing 10 can have mounting elements 15, 16 in the inner region for attaching a motor with a transmission and transmission output pinion and for mounting a chain drive wheel, the motor transmission axis being designated 16a and the axis of rotation of the chain drive link being 15a.
  • a chain guide is arranged in the housing, which is designed as an elongated flat housing, the length of which is indicated by L in FIG. This essentially consists of three chain guide sections 12a, 12b, 12c arranged parallel to the longitudinal direction of the housing and to one another, the length of which corresponds approximately to the length L of the housing. These longitudinal sections are connected to one another by transition sections, one of which is two, 13 and 14, extend parallel to the end faces of the housing. Section 14 also forms the exit section of the chain guide, the exit opening of which is indicated at 14a.
  • the height of the housing is determined by the installation height of the actual drive, while the width dimensions of the housing are determined by the longitudinal sections 12a-12c of the chain guide lying next to one another in the same plane.
  • the ratio between the total length of the chain and the size dimensions of the chain drive housing can be made even more favorable.
  • the housing 20, 21 of the chain drive is again made of several parts and has a flat, elongated box shape.
  • the height and width of the central area of the housing are intended to accommodate the actual drive.
  • This consists of a drive motor 22 with gear 23 and output shaft 24, on which, for example, a helical gear or a worm 25 is arranged, which is in drive engagement with a gear 27 which is connected coaxially and in terms of drive with a chain drive gear 29.
  • the axis of rotation of the actual drive is designated by 26 and the axis of rotation of the gear 27 and the sprocket 29 by 28.
  • the axis of rotation 26 lies in a plane 35 parallel to the flat side of the housing, which approximately halves the housing height.
  • loop-shaped sections of the continuous chain guide 32 lie in levels 36 and 37.
  • the two levels are marked by an oblique line Ramp section 39 of the chain guide connected together.
  • the chain guide forms a full loop in a plane having the exit 33 from the housing, including the ramp-shaped section 39, which extends along the inner contours of the housing and has significantly more than twice the length of the housing 20, 21.
  • the chain guide in the other plane extends again over a length corresponding to half the length of a full loop of the type described.
  • the drive-out chain is driven directly at the transition section with the chain guide section having the outlet opening 33 and the subsequent first guide section extending along the length of the housing.
  • the chain 30 is reliably received and guided in the chain guide.
  • the essential part of the height of the housing is largely determined by the necessary installation height of the housing. The same applies to the width and length of the housing.
